I have no idea what it is like being on the other side of the camera, but you make me feel like I am a friend of yours. I too have my own business and work alone. It is nice to have someone to share with occasionally. Many of my customers ( they are all business owners) like to confide in me when I am at their business, because unless your confidant knows what it is like to run a business then cannot relate to the issues you have.
Haven't scrapped in quite a few years. Had a neighbor move out from down the road from me and he told me I could grab whatever was left. Part of that was a bunch of irony extrusion, which I had my daughter help me with. Took less than 1/2 hr to load and brought it to scrap yard today. Funny, they actually remembered me. Anyway, I ended up having 740lbs of it and got, in US dollars (I'm in Canada), $563. My daughter thinks I need to get back to scrapping again. I was actually quite pleased with what I got. Now to get all this copper cleaned. I understand better your need to crush everything right now. These prices are crazy and yes, I did have an absolutely, fantastic day! Cheers!
Silas, I just love watching you operate the loader! The way you teased that load out of the truck bed into the dumpster.......that's talent!!!! So satisfying!!
Used to do that at the auto wreckers here in Oz. We would get a holden straight 6 wire the throttle wide open and let it run, 14 min then number 6 rod let go and blew the starter right off the block. 😃😃. Great vid Silas. 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍
I hope things start going better and you get over this hump. But just know there lots of us out here that just enjoy every thing you are doing in these videos. Things are so interesting and it gives a lot of us lots of joy watching. So keep these great videos coming. And THANK YOU SO SO MUCH FOR ALL YOU DO. Just love watching.
You seem so genuine my man. God if i could help i would. I feel your pain. Just know that the path your on is the correct one. Faith and knowledge WILL persevere. Your a good man and a darn hard working man. Believe me that, very few on the planet can match the level of your heart.
That sucks man The couple places we use they never once said anything about trash in a car i understand a alot but a couple small things in a car shouldn't matter. Hope they get it straight for you
The McCrapper cups! That is ludicrous! The patina on the Chev 3100 would make beautiful yard art! That was a neat lifted Jimmy and Ford powerstroke! Great video!
Hi Silas, on that model of Jaguar always check for the factory tool kit. Is in its own case slotted into a special shelf in the boot right under the rear screen, mostly they’re always gone, but only takes a second to check & I’ve met a few owners who never knew they owned one even after owning the car for years!
I can't believe the cheak of them charged you for rain and a small bit of rubbish well out of order that hope you get your problem sorted out all the best Cameron
i did the "let it run full throttle till it blows" with a vega one day. it was blowing oil water mix out of the oil filler cap for close to 10 minutes till she tossed a rod. fun times
Crushing Cars and hauling them to the Claw - what Fun it was ! Bouncing the Scrap Yards back and forth - well that what it takes ! Another Brilliant Video - Camera works fine ! Many Cheers from us in Australia !!!! ****Keep it Coming****
great video brother as always.get some sleep and get back to it tomorrow lol. there the ones that are going to miss your business stay safe,God bless and live for another day
I have a scrap yard less than ten minutes away I will not deal with because they adjusted their scales while I was on them. I think it has been eight years since I took anything to them because they ripped me off. Instead I take almost everything to another yard about thirty minutes away because they are honest and treat me good.
I’ve set 3and1/2 hours waiting on the claw . Makes you not want to go back but don’t have much choice unless you want to drive 2 hours one way . I know how you feel!!!
Silas! You got color back in your cheeks! Nice camera, I noticed it before you mentioned it. Sorry about that big pothole, I know you know there's the light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks for the crushin! 👍👍👍👍
I'd love to have that Jimmy 😭 I'd love to have it bc it has a Solid Axle Swap (SAS) done to it and I'd absolutely love to have the Parts from it that way I could use them to do a Solid Axle Swap on my 1984, 2DR, S10 Blazer.... I'm in the process of doing a 4.3L/5 Speed Swap on it right now tho, I pulled the Original 2.8L/Auto out of it bc I felt like the 2.8L wouldn't have enough balls for going Off-Roading 🤔🤷
I have a challenge for you..your pretty good at running the loader with the forks on. Could you open a car door without doing any damage? Would make a good video😁
Always put your job first and take care of your family and when you do videos i know the time you put into the videos and i thank you so much because I enjoy them but I use to save things like that but time is money and my place look like a mess I scrape everything and I find in the long run I make more money that way and I don’t care what people think I have a job to do and pay bills and that is the name of the game
The new camera worked flawlessly Silas. And considering all of the work that you have to do, you're like a nuke powered Energizer Bunny with the reactor on wide open throttle. Hopefully, you'll soon get some well deserved rest.
I once owned a Jaguar and would have easily crushed it, so happy to see that you did! New camera looks great, is the white balance on the wrong setting? (colors were a little off, I know they are a real pain to set up) I hope that problem you got gets resolved real soon.
I don't Know What you need 20k for but you said you would get roughly $700 for the truck at the claw, that is lets call it 30 cars to the claw,two cars a trip, 15 trips, the 20k is there , one less worry. Where you would find the time for 15 loads i don't know. But i would love to watch the video, all the best, great channel.
@@chopchopbusybusyworkworkba420 I need to do a video explaining what the situation out here is with who owns what! It’s a common misconception that I’ve never really talked about much.
Oh that's ridiculous! Docking 300lbs. for a backpack/McDonald's cup. And 3,000 lbs for rainwater!?! You and I know they are just making money off someone's back. I am so sorry about your $30,000 problem. Makes me sick to think about that. Hopefully you will get the problem solved. Enjoyed watching your crusher action, seems like it's been a while. Always enjoy your videos dear, sorry you've had some trouble with recording them- I did the same thing with the camera on my phone 🤦♀️. You'll get it right. Stay safe and GOD bless
Great job Salis that was a few loads to the claw could not belive it super job your videos are all so great I never miss one and always can't wait for next one thank you for sharing and your time was awesome 👌
i copied this because its exact what i want t o say I hope you can recover from whatever happened. I'd love to know, but it's a private matter. Hope it works out. Really enjoy your channel.
I know that you figure everything from fuel to snacks to see where the money is. I look at those penalties you mentioned and think of the cost they fined you making a wait still profitable if their so quick to penalize you... and yes, they are bigger than you so your really not a bargaining power unless you get a good percentage of others to quit as well. I do understand crushing rigs quite well as I have come to understand its location location location when it comes to selling pieces and parts. When I was a young fellow, I got ahold of a jag for just pieces and parts... used the disk brake rear and front disk five lug system on a old truck that I had repowered. Just having the live axle with disk brakes made it quite valuable..... yep, one guy out of ten thousand coming around for stuff... just how long can you wait for all that chances. Look at those old wrecking yards that the cars are totally overgrown in trees and briars... not many will venture into that for a strip of stainless... those rigs should be crushed... then if you do run into something real nice, simple to pull it out
The successful scrap companies here made contact with buyers in China and making big money (but not paying too good though) . Are there other scrappers near you that you form a buying company with and cut out the middleman ?
At around 11 minutes, does that mean you get penalties if there's still random junk in the car? What does it matter if there's a few McDonalds cups in them? I understand if they're loaded with lots of random junk they won't be pleased, but that seems like a massive overreaction.
When we take aluminum cans in they dock 3 lbs for ANY metal that sticks to their magnetic panel they dump them over. Didn’t know a small necklace could weigh 3 lbs.
An unexpected great expense on their part and their solution is to scalp people. 🥺 I'll bet Silas doesn't pass his unexpected expense onto others like that.
Jags may come and Jags may go, but you need to keep YOU in prime condition. Get some real sleep, buddy. We appreciate your letting us in behind the gates.
Had a catastrophic septic system failure at my rental house. Previous owner had some funky homemade setup. To follow all the county regulations would cost me about $25k so I had to evict a family of 6 at no fault of their own. Worst thing I’ve had to do in many years.
Let me get this straigt, the cars still have the interiors in them and the company deduct $300 for two paper cups from McDonalds? It's to much for my brain to process.
I hope you can recover from whatever happened. I'd love to know, but it's a private matter. Hope it works out. Really enjoy your channel.

It's fun watching you make the new compact cars
Your struggle feels like ours! Praying for you.
I have been into old Jaguars since the 1960's. The world will not miss that one.
Rest up buddy, we all need our sleep. Hope you get things sorted and I'll be ready and waiting for your next great vid, always appreciated.

You know your loaded when the back tires of your machine is in the air, great video, double thumbs up 👍

It's amazing watching your videos especially when you're crushing them cars I am still thinking about that white Bronco you crush that was a peeper
Your new camera is great keep up the good work.
my grandmother had a jag of that style.
Aw man that poor B5 audi in the background in the beginning.
The claw in high speed, how cool is that?
Best wishes to you for your dramas, hope you find a solution
The audio on the new camera is terrific! Great video as always, Silas.

Hope that tornado that hit near Wichita gave your properties a wide birth Silas, would hate to see what it would do to your cars if it did.
I was actually camping about 1/4 mile away from one of the many tornados in Kansas that night. Wild evening for sure
@@AdventuresMadeFromScratch God must have been looking down on you.
Nice load of cars
Hello Hello always cool videos 😁😁😁
I have a challenge for you..your pretty good at running the loader with the forks on. Could you open a car door without doing any damage? Would make a good video😁
I’ll have to try that sometime!
It's a good thing I don't live closer I'd have more junk or stuff depending on how you look at it
Its crushing time!!! Hope you can get some good rest...
Throw a heavy chain on your load and hook it up to a pile of cars and drive away ! Ha! LOL!
It will definitely ruin your trailer through.
If I had a steel floor that’s what I’d do
man I would love the wheels off that shadow , wish you where closer
Another awesome video Silas I hope everything works out Really enjoy your videos👍🙏
Yes I like it

And Mr. Silas .. all that scrap metal is going to China? Or it gets processed here in the US? Thanks for your reply...
Those motors are a dime a dozen for the diesel motors and cheap also
Save the classics
hi cent you make a hook in the red back truk part that on a angle hookt on the loader? so that you better cen emty it
Love this channel !
Who built your drive on scale’s?
That is a parts tumbler, it is from the 60s
vibro finisher I use to maintain 8 of them
I enjoy watching you crush every day

Makes me heart sick!
That was a sharp truck, and someone up here to Maine would have fixed it to replace worse looking trucks.
And a 7.3 at that, damn shame.

Looks like you got your ears lowered also....ha ha!
Good riddance those jags are junk I had one once worst car I ever owned
